 I have had nothing but bad groups from my Sav/Brux for some time and Mark straightened out some of my shoddy work but the barrel is toast. Sooo I have been trying to scratch together enough funds to have a new barrel put on it. I am not able to shoot anything with much recoil at this moment anyway due to a herniated disc in my neck. Saturday Aug. 13 2022 (Christmas day) after the match in Ky. I got the shocker of my life. Mark and Hank built me a new bench gun and gifted it to me. Never has anyone shown such a gracious act of kindness or consideration to me. It is a beautiful rifle as some who were there seen, but, the most special to me is that Mark and Hank would do this for me. I surely do not feel worthy of such an act of kindness and generosity. I must say as I consider it I have a tear of joy in my eye. What FRIENDS, love ya brothers. |

Hank and Mark are two great guys. The fact they did this for you, with all your medical problems lately, says a lot about their character. Happy for you Dennis.

I have found both Hank and Mark to be very generous. Especially with their knowledge but also with their time and stuff. Mark let me use his rear bag, spotting scope and answered all my dumb "Newbe" questions. When first getting into this it was a bit overwhelming. It's great to be able to shorten the learning curve by guys that know their stuff.
Enjoy the gun Dennis and thanks for being generous with some of the best Jerky around.

Stories like this are special. I would rather be on either end of that deal than win a million dollar lottery. 100% serious. Great people on each end.

I asked Hank to do some work on a sml or conversion, can't remember which back in I think winter of 2016/17 and he invited me to join the message board. Since that time I have been to all the Polar Bear outings and at least 6-8 other shoots. I have never met any better people anywhere than ones I have met at these shoots Hank puts on. I have learned things at every shoot I have been to. Always people more knowledgeable willing to share and help anyone. I'm glad I don't have heart issues or what Mark and Hank did for me would have killed me. It took about 3 days before I felt like it was beating right. I love the fellowship we all share on this board and at the range in Ky. Ya'll are special, (I mean that in a good way). BTW ones going this wknd for the educational session best to you, you will enjoy.
